My list is that I would put the old ST movies first, some of which I enjoyed. Then the TNG ones about which I didn't care (heck, even the screenwriter of "Generations" apologized for that movie).

Then come the JJ movies which seemed to have gone completely bonkers. They lack the core of what ST is (intelligent dialogs and interesting conflicts that push the story forward) and are all about being modern action movies. That is why I would put even "The Final Frontier" above JJ-verse.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I have never watched a Star Trek movie and don't plan on it.

The cardboard sets on the TV show, back in the day, were enough for me, thanks.

I wanted to put Stubbing My Toe on the Coffee Table between Insurrection and Nemesis but that's not actually a Star Trek film.

The wrath of Khan is no doubt the best movie ever to bear the name Star Trek. But honestly, it is not a Star Trek movie.   it’s a nautical action drama shot was Star Trek props.  It had a foundation plagiarized from Patrick O’brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series, with a layer of strained quotations from Moby Dick resting disconformably on top.

Star Trek
Star Trek Beyond

The Final Frontier
Insurrection
Nemesis
I have a different list though not really best to worst more what liked about each one.

First Contact (The battle at sector 001 was awesome and the sovereign class kicks ass)

[Image: 47184_6.jpg]

The Wrath of Khan ( Do I really need to explain why)
[Image: 4db861d55fcd2674d1165a01d3a0d675--funny-...things.jpg]

The Undiscovered Country (love the whole plot about Kirk having to deal with the concept of change and Sulu is a captain now ....Hell Yes.)

The Voyage Home ( I find the fish out of water elements in this movie funny also I like the idea of Aliens trying to contact life other than humans for once)

The Search for Spock ( I get to watch Klingon Doc Brown and Captain Kirk throw down. )

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (For all the weird pacing and dry plot the special effects in this movie are awesome)

The Final Frontier ( Spock shoots God ...)

Insurrection (It has this scene)



 


Nemesis (i don't care what anyone says I think the Scmintar looks awesome)

My favorites.

Wrath Of Khan. Needs no explanation.

First Contact. Resistance is futile! The Borg. I'm a doctor, not a doorstop. Deanna, you're drunk.

Generations. Malcolm McDowell. Kirk's career ends. An emotional android.
